Rumor Smash: Actually, the iPhone Battery WON'T Die After 400 Charges

Rumor Smash: Actually, the iPhone Battery WON'T Die After 400 Charges
Some good news for the iPhone's battery. Everyone originally reported that the iPhone battery loses capacity after 300-400 charges, needing to be replaced. People were mad.
